Contact Details & Opening Hours
Trading hours are set by each store, not only by the centre, so a supermarket may open earlier and close later than the clothing shops next to it. Dobson Point publishes centre hours of Monday to Friday 08:00 to 17:00, Saturday 08:00 to 16:00, and Sunday and public holidays 09:00 to 14:00, and notes that individual store hours vary. Dobsonville Mall lists a phone number for each tenant in its store directory but does not publish centre trading hours on its website.
| Centre | Address | Phone | Website |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dobsonville Mall | 75 Elias Motsoaledi Road, Mmesi Park, Soweto, 1863 | 011 988 0101 | Store directory |
| Dobson Point Shopping Centre | Cnr Dobson Drive and Mojahanah Road, Dobsonville, Soweto | 010 591 8239 | Store directory |
For a specific store’s hours and number, open its guide from the list above. On public holidays, over Easter and in the December period, call the store first.
